[MOD][XPOSED] Xposed GEL Settings [1.8.4]

[MOD][XPOSED] Xposed GEL Settings [1.8.4]

---

Alrighty! I don't understand why Google wants me to have this omnipresent search bar on every home screen if there obviously is Google Now / Google Search embedded into the launcher if you go to the left page. So after some searching I found a way to hide it. But it will show again if you go to the left screen; no functionality is lost. Of course digging through the code I found some more things which are customizable

How to request a feature

  

Requirements

• Xposed Framework
• Google Now Launcher
• new diaper

Instructions

1. download the module and install it
2. activate it in Xposed Installer → Modules
3. reboot your device
4. open Xposed GEL Settings
5. make all the changes you want
6. hit the restart button within the app to restart your launcher

Known issues

• In some cases the Google Doodle will not be loaded
  How to resolve: pull down in GNow
  State: This seems to be a problem of the launcher. This error also occurs if the module isn't activated at all.
• If the grid size or hotseat count is changed icons/widgets may disappear (especially if you decrease sizes)
  Severity: Keep it in mind
• Resized icons or grid settings might lead to different sizes
  State: working on it for the next update
• Some settings will lead to icons being cut on the left and the right side even though enough space is available
  State: working on it for the next update
• If you've made changes to the launcher using apps like AppSettings (which is awesome by the way), you might encounter problems
